Founding Principles

When founding the school, Professor Juen Sato adopted the expression “Shu, Shi, Shin”
from the Nichiren treatise Kaimokusho as the philosophy for the institution.
At Mejiro Gakuen this expression is honored in the following ways.

First, as a rational Japanese,
love your country and become a responsible citizen and member of society.

Second, maintain a spirit of love and respect toward the people who lead you toward the truth and
at all times cultivate an attitude of learning in a spirit of humility.

Third, value the home as the place where people love and nurture one another,
and understand and put into practice the nobility of family love and human love in general.
